1.6 out of 5
Too complex

If this is for exams or quizzes, THANK YOU SO MUCH that you invent it. The thing is when I click the file, the file didn’t open and it skip to a page with Microsoft apps, it took me more than 5 mins to went back to the quiz because the button were so strange. How much time do students have in one quiz? Rly mad at it.

iOS 18 support

Please update SafeExamBrowser for iOS 18, Apple had released it recently

IOS 18

This software does not work with the new apple update IOS 18. Please fix this!

NOT the right software for teachers.

In school we’ve been using this application for a while and it never ceased to amaze me at how many problems it has.
SafeExamBrowser :
-lags
-freezes
-outright doesn’t work or even turn on
-doesn’t save test/exam/quiz progress

To any teacher who is trying to find an alternative way or app to test students, this software is NOT the RIGHT one.

PS: same problems occur on both mobile devices and PC/computer and on all type of OS’s.

Hope you found this review suited for you.
Sincerely.

Terrible

SafeExamBrowser doesn’t accept IOS18 and lags so much from simply opening SafeExamBrowser .

WORST APP EVER

it’s always acting up,everything about it is terrible,quizzes don’t work here,it makes the device malfunction,please don’t download it

Terrible!

SafeExamBrowser is a disgrace to SafeExamBrowser Store. Extremely glitchy and slow and whenever I take an exam it crashes and deletes work. Don’t use!

Bad app

It’s so bad it always lags my teacher forced me to download it even tho I don’t want it and it took all my storage I do not recommend it I hate school 🤫🤫👎👎👎

Horrible

SafeExamBrowser often glitches and we can’t log out. I don’t recommend and I hope teachers don’t use it anymore.

Don’t use this app

My school obligates us to use SafeExamBrowser because they think it will prevent us to cheat on tests, but actually it doesn’t. SafeExamBrowser is glitchy, is slow, and often freezes the iPad

Shot blows

Doesn’t even load the rest of the half of the page so you can’t move on to the examine after trying so hard on learning how to work it. Very user unfriendly.

bad

not good

Features

Instead or in addition, a left slider menu shows a list of open browser tabs and commands which can be used to (if enabled in settings) quit an exam session, jump back to the start page of an exam, reload a web page, and navigate back/forward in the browsing history.

Those config files allow to individually configure SEB to display the start page of an exam system or an exam portal page with a list of links to current exams.

Important parts of this project have been carried out as part of the program "AAA/SWITCH – e-Infrastructure for e-Science" led by SWITCH, the Swiss National Research and Education Network and the cooperative project "Learning Infrastructure" (part of the CRUS program "Information scientifique: accès, traitement et sauvegarde") coordinated by SWITCH, and was supported by funds from the ETH Board and the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).

Currently, SEB integrates especially well with learning management systems (LMS) such as Moodle, ILIAS, OpenOLAT and with several non-commercial and commercial exam systems, such as Inspera Assessment, Dugga, Exam.net or EvaExam.

You can also directly start an exam with an individual configuration in SEB for iOS using a special config hyperlink.
